Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp green food coloring
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Use a whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed to mix until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Add the large egg to the sugar and oil mixture, followed by the vanilla extract and green food coloring. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the color is uniform.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Green Velvet Crinkle Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- * Make sure to use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor and color. * Don't overmix the dough, or your cookies may end up tough and dense. * To get the perfect crinkle, make sure to roll the balls of dough in powdered sugar until they're fully coated. * If you want a more vibrant green color, use a few drops more of green food coloring. * Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack to ensure they retain their shape and texture.
